"The Gods of Gotham is a wonderful book.&#160;Lyndsay Faye's command of historical detail is remarkable, and her knowlege of human character even more so.&#160;I bought into this world in the opening pages and never once had the desire to leave.&#160;It's a great read!"&#8212;Michael Connelly"The launch of a brilliant new mystery series, set in 1845 New York City: Irish Potato Famine, the birth of the police force, brothels and bedlam."-- Gillian Flynn"It's been almost twenty years since Caleb Carr's bestselling Olde New York crime novel, The Alienist, was published, and I cant count the number of times since then that someone has asked me if I can recommend a suspense story anything 'like it.' Well, New York has inspired lots of terrific thrillers, but I've just stumbled on one of the worthiest successors yet.

Praise for The Black Country&#8220;Ripe with gory details&#8230;[Grecian] has a flair.&#8221; &#8212;The New York Times Book Review &#8220;Similar to Jean Zimmerman&#8217;s atmospheric psychological novel The Orphanmaster, and as shocking as David Morrell&#8217;s Murder as a Fine Art.&#8221; &#8212;Booklist (starred review)&#8220;Devilishly dark&#8230;It isn&#8217;t often that a mystery-thriller enthralls so completely&#8230;but as usual with Mr. Grecian, there is more to this tale than complex plotting&#8230;A displaced eye, a crumpled note, cryptic limericks and lost ribbons: like our detective heroes, we follow these trails into the white-blinding snow to its brilliant and unexpected conclusion. Whether you read the tale in the dark night of winter or the haze of a summer sun, be prepared for the chill. The days are dark in Black Country.&#8221;&#8212;The Huffington Post&#8220;Grecian creates an eerie atmosphere from start to finish, and without giving anything away, the killer here is creepy and unexpected.&#8221;&#8212;Bookreporter.com&#8220;Startling and spooky . . . [a] bold melding of horror with historical elements.&#8221;&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&#8220;[Grecian] presents with fine precision the gray and gritty atmosphere of late-Victorian England.&#8221;&#8212;Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Yard &#8220;Grecian has a talent for capturing gory details&#8230;extremely vivid (and strangely moving)&#8230;[Grecian] does outstanding descriptive work on the mad and the maimed, the diseased and the demented&#8230;If Charles Dickens isn&#8217;t somewhere clapping his hands for this one, Wilkie Collins surely is.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;[A] mix of historical facts and vivid fictional creations. It&#8217;s great fun&#8230;Grecian&#8217;s debut is the promising start of a new series and should be one of the most acclaimed and popular mysteries of the year.&#8221;&#8212;The Huffington Post&#8220;Exuberantly grisly.&#8221;&#8212;The Guardian (U.K.)&#8220;Grecian powerfully evokes both the physical, smog-ridden atmosphere of London in 1889 and its emotional analogs of anxiety and depression. His infusion of actual history adds to this thriller&#8217;s credibility and punch. A deeply satisfying reconstruction of post-Ripper London.&#8221;&#8212;Booklist &#8220;A brilliantly crafted debut novel with unforgettable characters. An utterly gripping tale perfectly evokes Victorian London and brings you right back to the depraved and traumatic days of Jack the Ripper.&#8221;&#8212;Lisa Lutz, author of The Spellman Files &#8220;Lusciously rich with detail, atmosphere, and history, and yet as fast paced as a locomotive, The Yard will keep you riveted from page one. It&#8217;s truly a one- or two-sitting read.&#8221;&#8212;Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author&#8220;Grecian successfully recreates the dark atmosphere of late Victorian London.&#8221;&#8212;Kirkus Reviews &#8220;A winner, filled with Victorian arcana and eccentric characters and more humor than one expects from such a work.&#8221;&#8212;The Rap Sheet &#8220;This excellent murder mystery debut introduces a fascinating cast of characters. Grecian displays a flair for language as well as creating vivid (and occasionally gruesome) depictions of places and events.&#8221;&#8212;Library Journal &#8220;All the gruesome sights, sounds, and smells of a depraved Victorian London are vividly depicted&#8230;not for the squeamish. a gripping police procedural mystery and cracking good read.

"You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know does not read like any memoir you know...Unless I've got prose blindness, Sellers is an ace...Her calm, glass-half- full-to-overflowing worldview could, in another writer's hands, veer towards treacle, but she pulls it off beautifully. I predict exciting things for her: critical acclaim, hearty sales, and, perhaps best of all, long lines of strangers at every reading."  -The New York Times Book Review   "Never forget a face? What if you couldn't remember any? Sellers...learns to appreciate the upside: Being blind to faces makes it easier to see herself and those she loves as they really are."  -PEOPLE, four star review  "Although [Sellers] can't recognize others, in this book she has managed to find herself."  -Elle   "Stunning...This is a memoir to be devoured in great chunks. The pleasure of reading it derives both from its graceful style and from its ultimate lesson: that seeing our past for what it really was, and forgiving those involved, frees us up to love them all the more, despite their (and our) limitations."  -Bookpage

&#160;Praise for The Orphanmaster:&ldquo;The Orphanmaster is a sweeping novel of great and precise imaginative intelligence; it's also the most entertaining and believable historical novel I've read in years. Jean Zimmerman is a debut novelist who already writes like an old master. Read any page of The Orphanmaster and you'll become an instant fan.&rdquo; &ndash; Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life and Chang and Eng&ldquo;Jean Zimmerman's seventeenth-century New Amsterdam teems with enough intrigue, lust, and madness to give our twenty-first-century Big Apple a run for its money. And money is what drives this book &ndash; liberating, corrupting, forming the only bulwark against a terrifying, chaotic New World. Zimmerman's wit and humanity shine light in a dark woods, creating an uncommonly rich debut.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash; Sheri Holman, author of The Dress Lodger&#160;&ldquo;Here&rsquo;s American history turned inside out, animated by Jean Zimmerman&rsquo;s prodigious imagination.&#160;Monsters lurk in the shadows, chaos presses in, legends come alive, and one adventure leads with irresistible force to the next.&#160;The Orphanmaster is a breathtaking achievement.&rdquo; &ndash; Joanna Scott, author of Arrogance and Various Antidotes&ldquo;[A] compulsively readable, heartbreaking, and grisly mystery set in a wild colonial America.&rdquo; &ndash; ALA Booklist&ldquo;A feisty young Dutch woman, an English spy, and a local demon all cross paths in 1663 New Amsterdam, in this Ludlumesque historical thriller&hellip;a successful mix of historical fiction, spy thriller, and horror.&rdquo; &ndash; Library Journal"As in the best historical fiction, [Zimmerman] has created a kind of truce between the authority of the past and the accessibility of the present, revealing to us what it once meant to be alive, and what that history means to us now ... on nearly every page there is some unobtrusively offered word or description, of food, of architecture, of dress, that brings the period and its people into clearer focus." &ndash; USA&#160;Today"Absorbing period fiction with the requisite colorful characters of the era." &ndash; The New York&#160;Daily News

The Turning Season

'This excellent book provides a unique perspective on sustainability and globalisation, two subjects which are usually viewed as inherently contradictory. The author argues convincingly that the two can be reconciled if we are willing to introduce some fundamental changes in the way we run our economy and society. He provides some powerful and bold insights into how to achieve this.'  Professor Emilio Herbolzheimer, Henley Business School         'In this ground-breaking book, Peter McManners shines a spotlight on some of the most intractable and important issues of the current age. He exposes the 'dark underbelly' of globalization and the problems that arise from the narrow pursuit of economic objectives. He is not alone in recognising the problems, but the strength of this book is the policy framework proposed to solve them...Green Outcomes in the Real World is published at a time when the world needs new ideas and a new direction. It defines that new direction and should be compulsory reading for policy makers and students of international affairs. It sets the framework that could support the greening of the economy and society.'  Paul Taylor, Emeritus Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics  'Peter McManners rightly identifies the failure to question the orthodoxy of economic globalisation as a roadblock along humanity's journey towards sustainability. Committed free-traders will be uncomfortable with his conclusions, but they should read this book. They will find he is no enemy of competition and free markets. The essence of his valuable proposal is that by encouraging a greater diversity of economic models and allowing more room for nations individually, and in self-selecting groups, to find their own paths to sustainability, competition will encourage creativity, innovation and a more resilient global economy. McManners outlines a new global economic structure, built on the foundations of his four principles of proximization, which no
